1994 LINCOLN CONTINENTAL Complaints

CONSUMER EXPERIENCED UPPER RESPIRATORY PROBLEMS WHEN USING AIR CONDITIONER. VEHICLE BEEN IN DEALER SHOP. DEALER INFORMED CONSUMER THAT NOTHING WAS FOUND. *AK

HEAD GASKET WARRANTY WAS EXTENDED TO 75000 MILES AND LATER TO 100000 MILES. IT SHOULD BE EXTENDED FURTHER. *AK

RECEIVED A LIST OF MANUFACTURER'S RECALLS THAT WERE NOT DONE BEFORE PURCHASE OR RESALE OF VEHICLE. CONSUMER WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHAT HIS RECOURSE IS IN THIS MATTER. ONE OF THE RECALLS INVOLVED REAR SUBFRAME MOUNTS. *AK

THIS VEHICLE HAS HAD TWO ENGINES, TWO TRANSMISSIONS, TWO SETS OF MOTOR MOUNTS, BEEN IN NUMEROUS TIMES FOR REPAIRS TO THE WINDOW ON THE DRIVER SIDE. THE HEAD GASKETS BLEW CAUSING ENGINE FAILURE WITHOUT WARNING. WE SPENT OVER $20,000.00 IN 1999 FOR REPAIRS. WE PAID FOR A RADIATOR THAT WAS NOT DEFECTIVE AT ALL, (JUST FOUND THIS OUT LAST WEEK), A WATER PUMP AND A VALVE BODY AFTER A TRANSMISSION REPLACEMENT. THE 1994 LINCOLN CONTINENTAL WAS A "REAL LEMON" AND MORE SHOULD BE DONE TO PROTECT CONSUMERS AGAINST HAVING TO PAY FOR THESE VEHICELS AND THEN HAVING TO PAY TO REBUILD THEM.

REAR AIR SUSPENSION BROKE. DEALER HAS REPAIRED THE VEHICLE AT OWNER'S EXPENSE. *AK *ML

I JUST RECENTLY FOUND OUT THAT MY ENGINE MAY BE COVERED UNDER SOME RECALL BY FORD. I HAVE PAID TO HAVE MY HEAD GASKETS REPLACED ON MY CAR TWICE AND CANNOT UNDERSTAND WHY FORD IS DRAGGING THEIR FEET GIVEN ALL THE DATA THEY ARE AWARE OF. I HOPE MY DATA WILL SOLIDIFY SOME TYPE OF ACTION AGAINST FORD. I'VE LAID OUT OVER $4,000 TO HAVE MY CAR REPAIRED BECAUSE I LIKE THE CAR AND NOW I FIND OUT THAT FORD KNEW ABOUT THE PROBLEM. IF THERE IS ANY FURTHER DATA ABOUT THIS CONDITION, PLEASE CONTACT ME. *AK

MY ENGINE DIED! CHECKED THE INTERNET. MANY OTHERS HAVE SAME PROBLEM. NO WARNING. TAKE CARE OF VEHICLE AND ITS DIES FOR NO REASON OTHER THAN FAULTY HEADGASKETS. LISTED AS A NOTIFICATION TO OWNERS, NOT A RECALL. DUH!! MY FAMILY IS SUFFERING DUE TO A FORD ERROR. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE. THE COOLANT SEEPED THRU THE HEADGASKETS INTO THE OIL AND TOTALLY RUINED MY ENGINE AND I CANT EVEN HAVE THE BREAKDOWN I DESERVE TO HAVE. FORD NEEDS TO BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR ALL THESE INNOCENT BUYERS WHO TRUSTED THE NAME LINCOLN. PLEASE...DO SOMETHING TO HELP MY FAMILY. I HAVE CHILDREN AND FOSTER CHILD AND DAY CARE KIDS...I NEEDED MY CAR. I TOOK CARE OF IT, BUT IT DIDNT TAKE CARE OF ME. IT WAS SERVICED RELIGOUSLY. IT WAS BABIED. MY CAR IS AT GORDIE BOUCHE LINCOLN MERCURY WAITING FOR ME TO FIND $3,500.00 TO PUT A NEW ENGINE IN IT. ANYONE WANT TO TAKE OUT A LOAN ON A 94. MESS. AND NOT MY FAULT. AND NOT AN ACT OF GOD EITHER. AN ACT OF HUMAN NEGLIGENCE AT WIXOM PLANT, JOB 1, SO THE RECALL NOTIFICATION 98M01 READS. I FEEL LIKE A VICTIM AND I DONT LIKE THAT FEELING. PLEASE ADVISE. I PLAN TO CALL DATELINE AFTER YOU SEND ME MORE INFO AND MORE COMPLAINTS REGARDING THIS ONE!! D. OGDEN, MOTHER AND GRANDMOTHER, WHO BELIEVES IN INTEGRITY AND HONORABILITY, EVEN FOR FORD MOTOR COMPANY. *AK
